14.14 On-board training and instructions

  14.14.1 On-board training in the use of the unit's life-saving appliances, including survival craft equipment should be given as soon as possible but not later than one week after a person joins the unit. However, if the person is on a regularly scheduled rotating assignment to the unit, such training should be given not later than one week after the time of first joining the unit.

  14.14.2 Instructions in the use of the unit's life-saving appliances and in survival at sea should be given at the same interval as the drills. Individual instruction may cover different parts of the unit's life-saving system, but all the unit's life-saving equipment and appliances should be covered within any period of 2 months. Each regularly assigned person should be given instructions which should include but not necessarily be limited to:

  • .1 operation and use of the unit's inflatable liferafts;

  • .2 problems of hypothermia, first-aid treatment for hypothermia and other appropriate first-aid procedures;

  • .3 special instructions necessary for use of the unit's life-saving appliances in severe weather and severe sea conditions.

  14.14.3 On-board training in the use of davit-launched liferafts should take place at intervals of not more than 4 months on every unit fitted with such appliances. Whenever practicable this should include the inflation and lowering of a liferaft. This liferaft may be a special liferaft intended for training purposes only, which is not part of the unit's life-saving equipment; such a special liferaft should be conspicuously marked.
